About Chris
I am an experienced educational professional and PhD candidate in English Literature at the University of York. I am committed to advancing learning outcomes for young people, especially in English Language and English Literature. I have experience of tutoring students with SEND and behavioural challenges, planning curriculum and engaging students with their English education.
Throughout my academic and professional career I have maintained a consistent passion for books and reading of all types of literature. I have held professional positions in academic and educational publishing, including at Oxford University Press and at Pearson, worked in bookshops across the UK including York, Newcastle, Oxford and Birmingham, and have worked closely with authors and readers throughout a 20 year career.
In my spare time I run several book groups, for research and for fun. I look forward to helping you open up the world of literature.
I hold several tutoring credentials including the following certifications: Safeguarding Children Awareness :: Prevent Wrap Awareness :: Prevent Referrals (Safeguarding Action) :: Prevent Duty Training :: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion :: Health and Safety Awareness :: Fire Safety :: Internet Safety, Suicide and Self-Harm :: Child Sexual Exploitation and Child Criminal Exploitation :: General Data Protection Regulation :: Anti Bullying including cyber bullying :: Drug and Alcohol Misuse :: First Aid :: Managing challenging behaviour :: Mental Health Issues for Young People :: Staff Boundaries :: Gang Culture and County Lines :: Dyslexia Awareness

I teach 14-18 year olds at KS3 and KS4, studying for GCSEs and A-Levels in English Language and English Literature, and 1st year English Literature undergraduates. Lessons typically last between 30 mins to 1 hr.
I customise classes depending on which text is being read and studied. I use a close-reading methodology in partnership with the student to help develop independent understanding and comprehension of individual authors and texts. An outline of a typical lesson involves a joint reading of a short extract of English language or literature text, modelling answers to specific questions, and feedback on student's answers.
I help with essay planning, structure, vocabulary, grammar, terminology and understanding of themes, form and style. My aim is to help you excel in your English examinations and inspire a love of English beyond whether that be further study at Advanced level, university entrance or building English skills generally.
For my lessons you will need access to any text(s) you are studying plus ability to take notes (either digitally or pen and paper).
My qualifications include:
- Bachelors degree in English from the University of York
- Masters degree in Publishing from Oxford Brookes University
- Masters degree in English Studies from the University of Sheffield (pending)
I am a doctoral candidate at the University of York researching ecology in James Joyce and Modern Irish Poetry.
